Without Terps I would lose my soul

Terps play a huge role in the plant.

Terps are also medicine. My maui cross has terps so loud it makes me sick when I trim it.

Also have a FAK cross that reeks of burnt popcorn when done.

Terps FTW!!!

Nah your cannabis would just smell like a plant

You mean like hay or grass?

 

[AlphaPhase]

I think grass smell is even a terp, I think it would smell like nothing

You are right, THC has no smell at all.

For people who prefer pictures (one is cool it shows wine pairing with cannabis):

sounds like a winner winner chicken dinner about the Seattle HempFest. I was talking to my good friend that lives there. I lived there a year before him and we grew up together back home in Austin bitching about his job and that he needed a change so I said move on out and he did 3 months later and has been there ever since, he got on the waiting list to get into underwater welding dive school made it and graduated top of his class but he doesn't weld he just goes out on fishing boats and they dive down to the bottom of the ocean in puget sound and fish for shit at the bottom, like geoducks.

Anyway, got side tracked, I was talking to him about going to the HempFest and he said fuck that its all teenage angst, a bunch of young irresponsible pot leaf wearing kids getting burned out giving serious people a that smoke a bad name and look. Meaning they perpetuating the image of a "typical" stoner instead of the tax paying professional that smokes instead of drinks. But I said yeah we were just like that and there are going to be a ton of cool speakers, music, food, lots and lots of cool gadgets. It really is a good time but with over 300k people in one place it is crowded as shit and covers a huge ass area.

So yeah make that thread and lets meet up in person!

I was reading in the advanced section somewhere that the reason cannabis smells like grass sometimes is cutting the fresh leaves. If you don't dry out the leaves before cutting into them they release the same chemical as grass does when you mow the lawn. Something like that. I am stoned as fuck right now sweating off these rosin dabs.

 

[AlphaPhase]

That makes sense, a lot of people only cut fan leaves and leave the sugar leaves on for the bud drying phase. Creates a slower more even dry and I think it makes the Buds smell way danker. I failed my rosin attempt but I shall try again, I can only break so many hair irons right? I'll have to buy my own so my gf doesn't kick my ass the next time I break one lol

Pretty much hit it on the nail. I've read the exact same thing and, like you, I'm too fuckin high to remember what that chemical is called responsible for that "green" smell.

Some say this smell attracts pest bugs?

chlorophyll?

 

[D_Urbmon]

As I'm browsing it is saying that the plant releases this as some sort of distress signal, and from what I remember reading in the past this can be an attractant to pests.



Fuckers putting my brain to work this early.

These rosin dabs got me like

don't use buds if you ever try to rosin, use cheesecloth and kief. Smokes pretty damn good and sets me back for a couple hours.

 

[D_Urbmon]

YEah I love rosin dabs. here's my last little batch i did a couple days ago.


but cheesecloth wtf? for real?

Hmm, I did use buds when I had my failed attempt. I have a ton of hash and keif I wanted to try to press with. I don't have cheese cloth but I have a 25u pressing screen?

pretty sure that is what the dude is using to make mine. It is like a little screen and you put your kief in it and make a little ball then put it in the parchament paper. Squeeze down for however long and then open and pull the satchel of kief out and you are left with some dankness.

I was told the pressing screen works too! just gotta make a little ball out of it and press down.
